Deathborn vs. Bowser
Who would win in a fight? Deathborn or Bowser
-From Eric-

Metroid Killer: Hmm tough one. I believe that face-to-face battle Deathborn could possible take down the giant turtle. You saw how he just wiped out Black Shadow in the outro to Chapter 7. But it's rare that we ever see Bower in close combats, he usually has some gadget or his Clown Copter, and who knows, he might be invurnable to magic attacks? I call this a draw!


More timeline
You made a mistake - F-Zero: Falcon Densetsu isn't in 24th century, it's in year 2201. F-Zero X is in year 2560 (that was in Super Smash Bros Melee "F-Zero racers" trophy, so if this is true F-Zero GX is in year 2561, Acident was in 2557, F-Zero is in 2547, F-Zero MV is in 2572. Propably F-Zero 2 (SNES) is one year later after F-Zero, so it's in 2548.
-From Lui-

Metroid Killer: Thanks a lot for all the info. However I have some more to add to the topic. The trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee actually refers to F-Zero(SNES. Here's some text taken from the F-Zero(SNES) manual.

"WHAT IS F-ZERO? In the latter half of the 20th century, Mankind was gripped by the fear of being invaded by extraterrestrials. They referred to extraterrestrial spacecraft as UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects). Now, to those of us in this day and age, this sounds like a fairy tale.

It is now the year 2560, and due to the human race's countless encounters with alien life forms throughout the Universe, Earth's social framework has expanded to cosmic proportions. Now, trade, technology transfer and cultural interchange are carried out on an interplanetary basis."

This means that Maximum Velocity takes place in year 2585. It's not known where The Accident, F-Zero X and GX takes place compared to F-Zero and Maximum Velocity. I just guessed that the accident could take place some 10 years after the original F-Zero, but it easily just take place 1 or 3 years after F-Zero. It would be pretty nice if the next F-Zero could solve this big mess ;)


BS F-Zero
Will you have info on BS F-Zero on the super nes
-From rcz-

Metroid Killer: Yes I will actually. Once I'm done with the encyclopedia I will make a page called "Forgotten Zeros" which is gonna have all kinds of info about the cancelled F-Zero games.


G-Zero
Will you have G-zero info too?

-From rcz-

Metroid Killer: See the answer above.


Sales Numbers
Do you know how much F-Zero GX sold? (all regions if possible)

Thanks!
-From Tim-

Metroid Killer: According to IGN it sold about 180,000 units worldwide. Which is quite below the sales numbers which Sega/Nintendo expected.


Falcon vs. Falcon
Dear F-Zero World;

In the wake of Goroh vs. Chain, who might win out of Captain Falcon vs. Blood Falcon, taking into fact that they are identical in everything save for their clothing, ships and the fact that one is Black Shadow's loyal servant?
-From Fox Blue-

Metroid Killer: I say Blood Falcon. If I'm not mistaken Blood falcon gets his special powers from Black Sahdow(see Chapter 6), so that's already one thing that makes him different to his clone. Captain Falcon might be protected by his status of being a hero, but since the creators of the f-zero universe don't like Captain Falcon either I doubt that he's gonna get much help from anything up in the sky.


Future plans
Are you planning on adding any new things to this site?
-From Leonard Q.-

Metroid Killer: Well I mentioned Forgotten Zeros in one of the answers above, but I actually have more ideas in mind. In the coming months there will be 2-3 contest where you'll be able to win prizes. I also might add a "Fun" page to F-Zero World. I already have some ideas, but until now any fun page will have to wait till I'm down with the encyclopedia. Oh and one more thing! I'm gonna add a page about the F-Zero AX Monster Ride as soon as I'm done with the encyclopedia as well.


Helmets
Do you ever notice in super smash bros. melee.The trophies of Dr.Stewart and Jody Summer they have helments in their arms but,in F-Zero GX and the anime they are not wearing one during ther driving
-From rcz-

Metroid Killer: Actually the trophies are based on the character artwork from F-Zero X where Dr. Stewart and Jody both have helmets in their hands. I'm sure that they even used them during the races if we could have taken a peek inside their cockpits. My guess is that when they made F-Zero GX they either forgot about the helmets or just ignored them since none of the other Pilots had helmets... though they ought to, since it's such deadly race ;)


F-Zero Toy
Hello!

Can you tell mewhere I can get those Machine Sets for F Zero? Bandai doesn't mention them anywhere.

Best regards
-From Alexander Wieringer -

 Metroid Killer: You can buy them through the Japanese Bandai site here. However I don't know if they even ship to US and Europe, since I cannot read the Japanese text on that site. If you can't get them through that site I suggest that you wait till they become available at Ebay.

Good luck!
